Dark Minds

Few fiends reached the level of rank six alchemists according to humanity’s standards – partially owing to their inadequate alchemy system – and focused on producing pills that only worked for fiends.

“It’s not breaking the rules unless you’re busted,” advocated Long Wenmao, popping a pill to enhance his best treat – speed – believing it was the weapon to defeat the dragon vine. Of course, it was done with the tacit approval of the judges.

“Resorting to supplements,” scoffed the dragon vine, shaking his head.

All Body Synthesis Realm audience members, minus Xiaoshuai, witnessed Long Wenmao cheat.

“We need to report him for cheating!” Xiaoshuai cried.

“To who, the cheating judges or the four dragon leaders?” Mu Yu rebuked.

“Long Wenmao just consumed a pill! Are you judges blind?!” the doctor snapped.

“Rubbish. Long Wenmao was just holding back. What pill?” disputed a Body Synthesis Realm dragon.

Mu Yu grabbed the doctor to stop the latter grabbing a judge. “Don’t worry. Dragon Vine isn’t some fragile vase.”

After a barrage of attacks, Long Wenmao spotted an opening behind the dragon vine and thrust his tail there.

“Took you long enough, slowpoke.”

The dragon vine flowered from the front for momentum to perform a downward cleave. Long Wenmao stopped his tail abruptly, but he really was too slow. The dragon vine severed Long Wenmao’s tail, then side kicked the latter out of the ring.

“Weak and unable to comprehend simple. Perhaps your tail will serve as a reminder,” scoffed the dragon vine, butchering the tail convulsing in the ring that Long Wenmao was so proud of.

Ignoring the cheers for him, the dragon vine questioned, “Judges, who won?”

“L-Lord True Dragon wins!”

“Big Earthworm, I almost fell asleep waiting,” poked Xiaoshuai, waiting for the dragon vine at the bottom of the ring.

“You would’ve taken even longer if you were fighting him.”

“Huh? Mu Yu and I only needed one move. One move!”

“A true dragon really is another beast all together,” commented Long Xingan, from afar.

“There goes our plan to defeat the dragon vine,” grouched Long Keshuang.

“I expected better from Long Wenmao. What do you say?” mocked Jade Wyrm, turning to Long Shentu.

“It’s all on Long Feiying now. He needs to severely hurt Mu Yu if he can’t win. We can assassinate Mu Yu if he’s injured,” Long Xingan pointed out.

“The four of us certainly could sneak into Sunshine Valley.”

“Jade Wyrm, you looking to be diagnosed with ruins poison again?” taunted Long Shentu.

“You really want to bring that up again?!’

“Our target is the dragon vine. None of us will gain anything if we fight among ourselves,” verbalised Long Xingan.

“I quite like Jade Wyrm’s suggestion. I’d be first to sneak in and assassinate Mu Yu! There’s no way he’s beating four of us,” opined Long Keshuang.

“We already discussed that. He has the power of an Ascension Realm cultivator. Tell me, Jade Wyrm: do you think you can take him out without anyone being aware?” queried Long Xingan.

“Haha, a mere reed is enough to freak him out.”

“If you two didn’t get in the way, I would’ve reduced him to smithereens!”

“And you didn’t answer the question. Please enlighten me how you will explain yourself to Ancestor Green Dragon after alerting everyone in Sunshine Valley,” Long Xingan ribbed.

“If you two are too scared, I’ll go assassinate him with Jade Wyrm,” stated Long Keshuang.

“I couldn’t care less if Ancestor Green Dragon took his anger out on you two. After you kill Mu Yu, who is going to kidnap the dragon vine? He’s going to find out you two were behind it once the dragon vine is found missing. He might just kill you both,” warned Long Shentu.

“If we fall, you two will also fall,” threatened Jade Wyrm.

“Why not do it properly in the first place?” remarked Long Keshuang.

“Properly?”

“Kill Mu Yu, the dragon vine and everyone in Sunshine Valley. How can Ancestor Green Dragon find out who was behind it if there are no witnesses?” answered Long Keshuang, chilling their bones.
